Mr. Stinky

Of all the indignities in this process is my conversion into Mr. Stinky, due to the fact that the drainage from my abscess is ever-present, over=powering and would gag a maggot with a head cold. This does not make me very popular, even with my family, whose visits are perforce shorter and shorter.

Get well soon!; April 6, 2012 at 5:30 PM
Transsylvania Phoenix said...: Get well soon, Mike. I know it stinks to be sick (in your case both, figuratively and literally) but thank God it's only an abscess and not something more serious. I want you to know you are in my family prayers.
Now, here is something to make you smile and forget the pain for a minute: http://youtu.be/yCcSPldzweU

ParaPacem said...: Yes, and in the original Snow white tale, there WAS a dwarf named Stinky but he was omitted in the translation.
Hang tough bro, and don't be afraid to keep a pump bottle of Purell nearby; use it yourself, and have family use it when they visit.
PS - if that abscess smell reminds you of decomp, bear in mind that both Maxine Waters AND Debbie Was-a-man Schutlz both use that scent for their cologne.; April 6, 2012 at 11:00 PM

Speedy recovery and May God bless you.; April 7, 2012 at 2:30 AM

ChadZ from Wisconsin said...: Google medicinal uses of charcoal. I picked up a book on it at the local 7th day Adventist health food/bookstore. One of the uses listed was destinking wounds and healing abcesses.; April 7, 2012 at 6:23 PM

All we use clothes pins for is on bags of chips but they can come in handy. Ron's right: Stinking & alive is better than mouldering dead ! That hospital should have given you a spray can of Ozium. It's an Awesome odor eliminator. Here's a link but I get ours in the automotive scents in Walmart:

You're in my prayers for this to be over soon and be back home.

Ed said...: Try a dab of Vicks Vapo-Rub for the upper lip to counteract the stench and a cup of black coffee to remove the lingering taste from the mouth.; April 8, 2012 at 11:00 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
